Harder
Fight From Above Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't start
Don't start something you can't stop
We'll push back and find ourseleves lost
Hold on
Hold to what's left for us
Cause 'not much' is better than 'not enough'
So do what's right for you
I'll do what's right for me
But tonight let's just agree to disagree

If i could only try
If i could only try harder
Harder
I'd try harder
You're only making it
You're only making it harder
Harder
A little harder

Let go
Let go of the things we said
Especially the ones we might of meant
Remember
Remember when it worked for us
We're older now, but not too old to trust
So do what's right for you
I'll do what's right for me
And maybe we'll meet somewhere in between

If i could only try
If i could only try harder
Harder
I'd try harder
You're only making me
You're only making me harder
Harder
So much fucking harder

I should have let you go
I couldn't let you go
I should have let you

So maybe i should be
So maybe i should be harder
Harder
A little harder
Because this couldn't be
No this couldn't be harder




Harder
Any harder

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fight From Above's song "Harder" carry an underlying theme of conflict and the struggle to maintain a relationship. The singer is addressing someone and advising them not to start anything they cannot handle. The two are entrenched in their differences and are both trying to do right by themselves, but the relationship is struggling as a result. The repetition of "try harder" throughout the song suggests that both parties might be at fault for the lack of effort put into the relationship.


The singer encourages the other party to remember the better times when things worked for them and to let go of any hurtful things that were said, but to still hold onto what is left for them. The tone of the song is emotive, conveying a sense of urgency, hinting that the two might not have much time left to salvage what is left of their relationship. The singer is vocalizing his will to stay on the path they are on, but the other person is only making it harder for him to stay.


Overall, "Harder" is a song that touches on a universal topic that many of us can relate to: the ups and downs of relationships, and the need for both people to work equally hard at making it work.

Use the MuseScore Drumline (MDL) templates instead of creating score and adding instrument. If you use the template, articulations will automatically be on top.
